Saints sign Mark Ingram to 4 yr / $ 16 million contract

This year's cap is 143 million. Before signing Ingram (and i bet that contract is heavily backloaded since they have enough trouble right now) they already had 140 million allocated for only 33 players next year.

 

With Ingram they'll have 34 players under contract but will surpass already the cap limit if it were to stay the same.

They'll convert roster bonuses this year into signing bonuses to spread the hit out and make cap room. Next year there are a lot of high base salaries for the same players, so those will get converted to signing bonuses also to make 2016 cap room. Then Brees will be done in 2017 and the house of cards will collapse on itself.

    • Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.
    • No one is upset.  And what I referred has been happening.   Patrick Mahomes has an offseason basketball clause in his contract.  A ton of other physical activites like jet skiing, baseball and all sorts of physical activities are written into his contract.  XL likely already has ATVs and stuff written into his contact.  League already has been inserting a lot of that stuff into basic contracts for non-top tier players and we have seen it pan out.  
    • A payment for future production, puts him a cane for 9 seasons.
